rock star : inxs review

ok folks - if you're not interested in this show - just skip this entry! since i think i will be making a point of watching this show this summer, i might as well offer comments. for no real reason other than just killing time, actually!

last night was the intro show and the first performances. someone was booted off the show by inxs. tonight was a live performance show again. the 3 lowest vote getters will have to perform an inxs song in front of the band and then inxs will send someone home. interesting.

before i do a rundown of the performers - can i just say that the backing band is amazing? holy holy. take them and ditch the singers!

anyway - for good or for bad, here are my comments :

heather - want somebody to love
wow. vocals were strong but wavered just before she pulled it out in the end. good presence

marty - take me out
kinda boring... bit of a one trick pony as far as i am concerned. wanted it to be over after a bit

daphna - people are strange
one of my fave songs. after yesterday i thought she was a leading contender - but tonight she was... well... strange... and not in a good way.

suzie - call me
oh - please let her be gone after tonight. after she caterwauled through this great song i started to think this show might suck after all. she really needs to go, especially since i found out she's worked with that crackpot alan frew before. heehee.

marty - hard to handle
urgh. karaoke anyone?

jordis - heart shaped box
this could be the new voice of inxs...

mig - all day and all of the night
good voice, ok moves, nice eyes - he looks like a younger version of willem defoe...

deanna - should i stay or should i go
kind of reminds me of a lindsay lohan or hilary duff - someone who is playing the roll of a singer...

will - right here right now
hate him. isn't creed looking for a singerboy? i think he took a wrong turn at the american idol auditions. go home.

jessica - i want you to want me
first performer to interact with the band. very very good.

tara - take it easy
i really wanted her to do well - but this sucked. she probably also drew the worst song. she seems like a seedy roadside trucker bar singer. not the singer for inxs.

neil - fortunate son
for the love of the gods - put your shirt back on, jack skellington. performance only so so. vocals a little nasally.

ty - heartbreaker
this guy has so much going for him. i think it will end up being between him and jordis.

jd - california dreaming
i think i liked it.... but i'm not certain...
